About The Jolly Sailor

The Jolly Sailor is a charming country pub and family restaurant, located in the village of Heybridge Basin overlooking the Blackwater Estuary in Essex. Situated near the Blackwater and Chelmer Navigation Canal Lock Gates, it makes for pleasant trips on the river or canal, or leisurely strolls to the historic town of Maldon. We have an outside garden area, sea food bar and a covered barn area which can be used all year round. Quiz Nights & live music are regular events at the Jolly Sailor... Our chefs provide a range of culinary delights, using fresh, locally sourced food products. This is complimented by an extensive range of beers, ales, gins, spirits and wines from our cellar.
